The song "The Blues Man" is a redo of a Hank Williams Jr. song of the same name. It is performed by Alan Jackson on his "Under The Influence" CD as a tribute to Hank Williams Jr. The song is just over 7 minutes in length with the last 3 minutes being a very moving guitar instrumental. It is suggested that you fade out the song at the end of the vocal section at approximately 4 minutes 15 seconds. The dance will then end in the 6th repetition on count 32, facing the front wall
